That's a really interesting technique. It's especially nice for the lightning. Maybe I can replicate that in Affinity Designer.

I loved it! No DIY grid, no pen tool and fully fleshed out the world too rather than just doing one building. I also enjoyed that you didn't build rectangular shapes.

[@cxa011500]

For some reason I had the feeling in my mind like creating a floating island would be way more difficult than creating something like a house on land. (When really it's just moving pixels.) 😅

IM HERE FOR THE ROCKS.... but, your videos are sharp and crisp. I have been looking for this for a while. WOULD YOU MIND TO MAKE A VIDEO JUST HOW TO MAKE ROCKS, BOULDERS, CLUSTERS OF ROCKS...

[@ProcrastinatorProductions]

This is a great tutorial and I was able to follow almost everything except making the river. For some reason, when I try to make the clipping mask, it would disappear and the thing I was tying to make the clipping mask from turns blue. Or there is a pop-up saying I can't create a clipping mask with the path I selected.

[@ProcrastinatorProductions]

nevermind, i figured it out

[@Vectortwist]

@@ProcrastinatorProductions awesome!

[@S4MCRD]

I'm having the same issue. How did you figure it out?

[@mehransoleimani4308]

perfect from iran

[@therealAOMega]

my roughen tool box only shows absolute in "inches" and not pixels. any advice for me?

[@ninesunstars]

damn idk what happened to my lasso tool it cant trace my object what happened? or should i just restart or something else.

[@Vectortwist]

I have no clue, Illustrator glitch, just restart, it never happened to me, but also make sure you don't have any layers or objects locked

[@raunakmane9678]

How do you copy the grassland it to the front to clip the river?

[@Vectortwist]

object>arrange>brint to front

[@abdullahmohsen8866]

Hi.. thanks for the great video but can you please help me? Every single time I try to make a copy of the grass on the top and paste it in front it never want to paste it in front of the river.. it's always on the top of everything except the river even if I did all as you explained. Thanks in advance.

[@Vectortwist]

Abdullah Mohsen make sure your grass is on another layer below the river. Let me know if this helps you.

[@abdullahmohsen8866]

@@Vectortwistthank you, I did it already by just keep ungrouping things and it worked somehow, thank you again ^_^

[@abdullahmohsen8866]

@ArisGPvP just select the Iceland and then right click it then you can find ungroup

[@yashberi7133]

AT 6:47, how do you create that copy to the front?

[@Vectortwist]

Yash Beri, select the top grass shape and simply use the shortcut SHIFT+CMD+] to put it on top of everything (if all is on one layer), or you could go to Object>Arrange>Bring to Front

[@loreukraine]

Thanks you a lot! It's an amazing lesson! But I have some problem: after expand appearance on 2:37 I have some little borders on the ground of island

[@Vectortwist]

that's probably due to a stroke you had around your shape. try with just a fill.

[@loreukraine]

Vectortwist merci, my problem is solved :)

[@Vectortwist]

Ivan Kartsev bienvenue 🙂

[@maddiestewart399]

Hey! I'm a bit of a beginner with illustrator and I love your video so far but when I try to use the lasso tool on the extrude and bevelled island shape it doesn't let me select it the bottom half of the shape. I've turned illustrator off and on again and reset the workspace, just in case it was a software issue but its still not working. Does anyone have any idea why that might be? Thank you ! :)

[@Vectortwist]

Make sure to select the bottom with the direct selection tool (white arrow too) and make sure before you do that to expand the shape (object > expand )

[@JasmineDhillon]

once I expand appearance, I cannot see any anchor points at all. can u help with this?

[@Mr_Affordable]

I am having similar issue

[@24t7]

hye , im still new here. i still dont get it how to create the rock like u did in 8:40 . can u give the guide ? thanks

[@Vectortwist]

I created the rocks just like the island, with the 3d tools. After that, I expanded the appearance and added extra shapes with the Pen Tool in lighter or darker colors. Give it a try

[@24t7]

Vectortwist i try . Thanks so much

[@BellaCapilla]

How to get the shadows? Mine are much darker than yours :(

[@Vectortwist]

You can adjust that in the 3D tools settings, or change the color after you expanded the shapes

[@mateuszmatuszczak4282]

Good tutorial but ending was too fast. I have no idea how to make bridge, ladder and tent.

[@olivermutalemumba2913]

I need help @ 6:51. How do I copy it and layer the clipping mask

[@Vectortwist]

select the grass shape and make a copy (Ctrl/Cmd + C) and then move it to the front (object-arrange-front), the. you select the river shapes and the copied grass and apply the clipping mask: Ctrl/Cmd + 7, or under object-clipping mask-make

[@olivermutalemumba2913]

What is T?

[@olivermutalemumba2913]

I appreciate the feedback. Thank you

[@Vectortwist]

@@olivermutalemumba2913 typing mistake, it means "it" :)

[@olivermutalemumba2913]

How do I select the river shapes and grass? Do I use selection tool or direct selection tool?

[@johnvanderv.4219]

@ 6:51 this doesn;'t work. please explain what you did because you cut out some and it goes really fast at once. I'm just unable to make a mask.

[@Vectortwist]

John van der v. Use the direct selection tool and select the grass shape. You can use the selection tool as well but your grass might be grouped and you want to select the top shape only. Then create a copy, use the shortcut cmd + c and paste it exactly in front, cmd + f. Keep it selected and make sure it’s on top of the other grass shapes and the river. Then select just the copied top grass shape and the river and make the clipping mask, cmd+7. Let me know if it works for you!
